Note on instructions
When working in hazardous areas, the safety of personnel
and equipment depends on compliance with the relevant
safety regulations. The people in charge of installation and
maintenance bear a special responsibility. It is essential that
they have an exact knowledge of the applicable rules and
regulations.
The instructions provide a summary of the most important
safety measures and must be read by everyone working with the
product so that they will be familiar with the correct handling of
the product.
The instructions have to be kept for future reference and must
be available throughout the expected life of the product.
Description
The BARTEC Varnost enclosures, type 07-56.1-…./…. and
type 07-55.1-…./…., are available as enclosures with lid or as
cabinets with door. The enclosures serve for the admission of
certified components in combustible ranges. They are used for
connection with lights, devices and sensors.
The walls of the enclosure, lid/door and base consist of several
edged and welded high-grade stainless steel of at least 1 mm
(0.04 in) thickness.
The flange plates with tapped holes for the cable and conduit
entries are at least 3 mm (0.12 in) thick.
The IP protection class is realized by a seal in the lid or in the
door.
The enclosures are mounted with mounting brackets found
outside of the enclosure wall.
The enclosures are also suitable for intrinsically safe electric
circuit connection. For this application, special marking is
required.
The enclosures can be used in hazardous areas of both zone 1
and 2 with certified explosion subgroups II and the temperature
class T5/T6 and as well as in zone 21 and 22. Enclosures and
cabinets with windows shall only be used in conditions with low
level mechanical risk.
Safety instructions
The supplied Ex empty enclosures are U-certified components
which serve as a basis for completely certified devices which
then in their entirety must still be tested and approved by a
specified agency for capability for use in potentially explosive
areas.
The enclosure may be operated only if it is clean and not
damaged in any way. Dust deposits > 5 mm (> 0.2 in) must be
removed.
Utilization in areas other than those specified or the modifica-
tion of the product by anyone other than the manufacturer is
not permitted and will exempt BARTEC Varnost from liability for
defects and any further liability.
The generally applicable statutory rules and other binding
directives relating to workplace safety, accident prevention and
environmental protection must be observed.
Observe the applicable laws and directives when commissioning
or restarting operation.
Always follow the safety instructions on the operating
equipment.
Marking
Particularly important points in these instructions are marked
with a symbol:
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in deat or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may reult in death or serious injury.
NOTICE indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.
NOTE Important instructions and information on effective,
economical and environmentally compatible handling.

Transport, storage
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to heavy loads.
• Use an appropriate carrying aid or an appropriate means
of transport (e.g. a fork-lift) with an adequate load-carrying
ability.
• Ensure that the lifted load will not tip over or slip off.
NOTICE
Damage through incorrect transport or incorrect storage.
• Transport the distribution box in original packaging, handle
with care, and do not drop.
• Store the distribution box dry in original packaging.
Assembly, installation, and
commissioning
WARNING
Risk of serious injury due to incorrect proceedings.
• Only qualified personnel who are authorized and trained to
assemble electrical components in hazardous (potentially
explosive) areas may do any of the assembly, disassembly,
installation and commissioning work.
• For assembly and operation of explosion protected
electrical equipment, relevant installation and operating
regulations are to adhere (e.g. Betr.SichV, IEC/EN 60079-14
and series DIN VDE 0100).
• The data on the label and the EEC design test data are to be
observed. Further technical information is provided in the
BARTEC catalog and on the product itself.
• Do not open the distribution box when energized.
• Follow the components mounting instructions/operating
instructions.
Assembly / disassembly
DANGER
Death or serious injury because of a missing protective
earth connection.
• Metallic conductor entries must be connected to the
ground. With plastic enclosures, BARTEC Earth loc or
appropriate ground plates serve the similar purpose.
• Protective earth connections have to be protected against
self-loosening.
• By assembling/disassembling of cable glands and/or plugs
with counter nuts tighten always counter nuts and NOT
plugs or cable glands - otherwise the seal may be damaged.
NOTICE
Damage to elements due to incorrect installation
dimensions.
• The minimum spacing between the mounting holes must be
observed, see manufacturer`s instructions.
When processing the enclosures, attention must be paid to
ensuring that there is suitable minimum spacing between
individual boreholes and from the sealing edge of the enclosure
so that enclosure with the fittings will be able to withstand an
impact test.
